John Wayne and Gary Cooper by Phil Stern
Les Wampas is one of my favorite French punk bands. In this old funny video for their song “Petite fille” appears Marion Cotillard, she’s 15 years old here. And not long ago Didier Wampas, the lead singer, posted this photo of him and Marion, taken during filming of that video. Hey, wow.
Ozu + Tomine. So good, it’s almost unbearable. – From The New Yorker, July 12 & 19, 2004
I gave my first ever commencement speech to the graduating class of 2012 at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
I think I told them everything important that I knew about going out into the world and being an artist, so I may never need to give another one.

I think people are often quite unaware of their inner selves, their other selves, their imaginative selves, the selves that aren’t on show in the world. It’s something you grow out of from childhood onwards, losing possession of yourself, really. I think literature is one of the best ways back into that. You are hypnotized as soon as you get into a book that particularly works for you, whether it’s fiction or a poem. You find that your defenses drop, and as soon as that happens, an imaginative reality can take over because you are no longer censoring your own perceptions, your own awareness of the world.
